FAQ

Installing outside Google Play

Why isn't Lift on Google Play or the App Store yet?

Lift is a small-town app in its final testing stages. The direct APK download and web app let riders and drivers in QwaQwa start using it now, ahead of a full store listing.

Is it safe to install an APK from outside Google Play?

Yes, as long as it's from a source you trust — download it only from this page. Android blocks installs from outside the Play Store by default, so you'll need to allow it for your browser or file manager the first time.

How do I install the downloaded APK?

Open the downloaded file. If Android blocks the install, go to Settings → Apps → (your browser or Files app) → and enable "Install unknown apps" for it, then try opening the file again. You only need to do this once.

Does the web app have all the same features?

Almost — the web app covers requesting and tracking rides and paying, but notifications only work while the browser tab is open, since a browser tab can't run a background service the way the installed app can.
